Gregor23 Report post Posted August 8, 2018 I recently purchased a 2018 Class C motorhome from a SW Florida dealer. It is built on a Ford E350 chassis. The chassis was built in March 2017. What’s the standard when determining the year of the motorhome? Did I pay for a 2018 and actually get a 2017 model? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfe10 Report post Posted August 8, 2018 Gregor23, Welcome to the FMCA Forum. It is quite common for the chassis to be a model year earlier than the coach. The chassis has to be built and then shipped to the coach builder where it may sit for a few months before having a coach built on it. The year (for registration, etc) is based on the COACH model year. Yes, for chassis items, use your chassis VIN/chassis year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill It is common in any industry which buys a chassis and then builds their custom vehicle on the chassis. Not limited to RV's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
